Need help IDing this LVRR scene
Author: Pattenburg

Came across this photo of LV 152 perhaps backing these two flatcars so those two trailers can be unloaded. I have no idea as to where this photo was taken and hoped that someone on this forum might be able to ID this location . The tall building off to the left reads "Lehigh Warehouse & Transportation Co." A second sign above the trailers states "Lehigh Valley Freight Station". Any additional information about this photo anyone might notice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Interesting trailers . . . one's Nickel Plate and the other appears to be a common carrier. Can you read the roadnames on the flats? Both LV?

even looking at this photo under a magnifying glass, I still cannot make out a road name on those two flats.

The lettering on the second flat looks pretty close to the same style on the trailer, Nickel Plate. The first flat looks like the name is pretty long and as a stripe under it, PRR maybe?
